Deep switch ckt location on Bob-Is schematic

[BobW]

Bob-I, I noticed your schematic shows the Deep switch ckt connected before the CL Vol. I wired mine like the Hybrid revA, after the CL Vol. Any advantage to place it before? Also recheck your schematic preamp/ PI tube pinouts.

Thanks for the suggestion to swap the Cathode cap values on CL2 and OD2. It tamed the high end grit and was able to remove the treble bleed ckt at OD2 (.001 w/250k pot), much appreciated. Bob

Um... I don't use the deep switch. I'll check the pinouts.

Sorry Bob, thought this was your schematic.

You know what.... that IS my schematic. I removed the deep switch. If you look closely at it you'll see it's really the same as the Hybid-A, just drawn differently.

[BobW]

yeah, I don't use the deep switch much either. My schematic is basically the same as Hybrid revA w/o the mid boost switch. thanks

What? No Deep switch? How ya gonna get Carlton tone without a Deep switch?

BTW, it should really be called a "Soft" switch since it really just takes the edge off of the tone.

Not in my experience. On my Super Reverb it really fattens up the drives the bottom end, on my Hybrid it flubbed out the bottom end, so I removed it.

If it really just took the edge off the tone I'd like it. Maybe I should try again.

Just thinking if there is a possibility that the "Deep" switch in LC's amp is the same circuit as the #0124 amp. (?)

What circuit?? Isn't that midboost in 124??

as i understand it and hear it, it's a mid cut....gets you a mid scoop that's why it seems to have more low end...

Well, that's what I meant, the front panel says "Deep" and I thought 124 was roughly the same era as one of Carlton's. Just wondered what people think about the possibility that this could be what is in his amp.

Remember 124 was modified by Dumble later, when it got the Skyliner EQ. Originally the switch did what it's supposed to do, i.e., the "Deep" thing, not the "Mid" thing like it does now. Lord knows how (I'm sure it has been) LC's amp has been modified.

thanks guys, my deep switch is wired after the CL Vol, just didn't understand the reason why it was shown before the vol?

Hey Gil, you know the more I listen to Carlton's tone the more I think that Dr D may have increased the compression on V1B by lowering the feedback resistor to maybe say 10M or less. Just a thought.
